Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermal barrier coating materials, and more particularly to non-uniform Ce-doped pyrochlore and fluorite dual-phase high-entropy rare earth zirconate thermal barrier coating materials and their preparation methods. Background Technology
[0002] Thermal barrier coatings are heat-insulating materials used on the surface of turbine blade alloy substrates in aero-engines or internal combustion engines. They isolate the alloy component substrate from high-temperature combustion gases, reducing the alloy substrate temperature, improving engine thermal efficiency (over 60%), and extending service life. Currently widely used 8YSZ coatings undergo phase transformation and sintering at service temperatures above 1200℃, failing to meet the requirements of next-generation high thrust-to-weight ratio aero-engines. High-temperature phase stability is one of the fundamental properties for novel thermal barrier coating ceramic materials to replace traditional YSZ ceramic materials.
[0003] A2B2O7 rare-earth zirconates with a single-phase structure of pyrochlore or defective fluorite possess low thermal conductivity, a large coefficient of thermal expansion, and high-temperature phase stability, making them the most promising alternative to 8YSZ thermal barrier coating ceramic materials. However, the thermal expansion properties, sintering resistance, and mechanical properties of single-phase rare-earth zirconate thermal barrier coating ceramic materials still limit their application in the field of thermal barrier coatings. To alleviate thermal stress concentration caused by the mismatch in the coefficients of thermal expansion of the thermal barrier coating, which leads to coating peeling, the most effective measure is to maximize the coefficient of thermal expansion of the ceramic layer and minimize the difference in linear expansion coefficients between it and the binder layer. Furthermore, to improve the stress-strain tolerance of the thermal barrier coating ceramic layer and avoid coating failure caused by various stress concentrations, the ceramic layer should possess high hardness, low elastic modulus, and high fracture toughness. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned shortcomings of the prior art by proposing a non-uniform Ce-doped pyrochlore and fluorite dual-phase high-entropy rare earth zirconate thermal barrier coating material and its preparation method, which possesses excellent high-temperature phase stability, low thermal conductivity, low elastic modulus, high coefficient of thermal expansion, high hardness and fracture toughness, and excellent anti-sintering properties.
[0005] The non-uniform Ce-doped pyrochlore and fluorite dual-phase high-entropy rare-earth zirconate thermal barrier coating material of the present invention has the chemical formula (La... 0.2 Ce 0.1 Sm 0.1 Dy 0.2 Yb 0.2 Sc 0.2 )2Zr2O7、(La 0.2 Sm 0.2 Yb 0.2 Sc 0.2 Y 0.1 Ce0.1 )2Zr2O7、(La 0.2 Ce 0.1 Nd 0.1 Yb 0.2 Lu 0.2 Sc 0.2 One of )2Zr2O7.
[0006] The preparation method of the non-uniform Ce-doped pyrochlore and fluorite dual-phase high-entropy rare earth zirconate thermal barrier coating material of the present invention includes the following steps: S1, the rare earth source and zirconium source are respectively arranged according to (La 0.2 Ce 0.1 Sm 0.1 Dy 0.2 Yb 0.2 Sc 0.2 )2Zr2O7、(La 0.2 Sm 0.2 Yb 0.2 Sc 0.2 Y 0.1 Ce 0.1 )2Zr2O7、(La 0.2 Ce 0.1 Nd 0.1 Yb 0.2 Lu 0.2 Sc 0.2 A solution is prepared by mixing ingredients in a molar ratio of one of the molecular formulas in 2Zr2O7. S2, using the reverse coprecipitation method, the solution obtained in step S1 is added dropwise to ammonia water while continuously stirring; S3. After the flocculent precipitate obtained in step S2 has been left to stand and age for a period of time, it is then centrifuged, washed, and dried. S4. The dried mixed powder obtained in step S3 is preheated for a period of time to obtain a mixed heat-treated powder. The preheated mixed powder is sintered in a muffle furnace for a period of time to obtain a rare earth zirconate thermal barrier coating powder.
[0007] Furthermore, during the reverse coprecipitation titration in step S2, ammonia water needs to be continuously added to control the pH to always be greater than 10, ensuring that flocculent precipitate is completely generated.
[0008] Furthermore, in step S3, the settling and aging time is no less than 24 hours to ensure that the materials react fully and allow the flocculated suspended matter to settle.
[0009] Furthermore, in step S3, the generated flocculent precipitate is first washed repeatedly by centrifugation with deionized water until neutral, and then washed twice each with ethanol and isopropanol.
[0010] Furthermore, in step S4, the preheating temperature is 950~1100 °C, and the preheating time is 5~10 h.
[0011] Furthermore, in step S4, sintering is carried out in an air atmosphere in a muffle furnace at a calcination temperature of 1350~1600 ℃ for at least 6 h.
[0012] Furthermore, the rare earth source includes one of rare earth oxides, rare earth chlorides, rare earth nitrates, and rare earth sulfates.
[0013] Furthermore, the zirconium source includes one of zirconium dichloride octahydrate, zirconium nitrate, zirconium sulfate, and zirconium chloride.
[0014] This invention utilizes calculations based on atomic size difference and radius ratio to prepare a novel non-uniform Ce-doped pyrochlore and fluorite dual-phase high-entropy rare-earth zirconate thermal barrier coating material. The non-uniformly doped material exhibits excellent high-temperature phase stability, exhibiting no phase transformation during long-term high-temperature service; lower thermal conductivity; smaller grain size and a very slow growth rate, resulting in excellent resistance to sintering; and significantly improved mechanical properties such as hardness, elastic modulus, fracture toughness, and coefficient of thermal expansion.
[0015] Compared to the low coefficient of thermal expansion and mechanical properties of undoped Ce-containing pyrochlore and fluorite dual-phase rare-earth zirconate thermal barrier coatings, Ce-doped pyrochlore and fluorite dual-phase rare-earth zirconate thermal barrier coatings significantly improve the coefficient of thermal expansion and mechanical properties (hardness, elastic modulus, and fracture toughness) of dual-phase high-entropy rare-earth zirconate thermal barrier coatings while simultaneously achieving low thermal conductivity and high anti-sintering performance. This improved overall performance of dual-phase high-entropy rare-earth zirconates effectively extends the service life of materials and promotes the practical application of dual-phase high-entropy rare-earth zirconate materials in the field of thermal barrier coatings.

Figure 2 and Figure 7 It can be seen that the coefficient of thermal expansion of the dual-phase thermal barrier coating materials prepared in Example 2 and Comparative Example 2 both increase with increasing temperature; In Example 3 Figure 3 Compared with Comparative Example 3 Figure 7 X-ray diffraction pattern of biphase high-entropy rare-earth zirconate sintered at 1350 °C for 6 h; from Figure 3 and Figure 7 It can be seen that the thermal barrier coating materials prepared in Example 3 and Comparative Example 3 are both pyrochlore and fluorite dual-phase structures.
[0050] In Example 3 Figure 4 Compared with Comparative Example 3 Figure 8 Mechanical properties of two-phase high-entropy rare earth zirconates; from Figure 4 and Figure 8 It can be seen that, compared with Comparative Example 4, the elastic modulus (E) of the Ce-doped biphase high-entropy rare-earth zirconate thermal barrier coating material prepared in Example 4 is reduced, and the fracture toughness (K) is also reduced. IC The entropy of Ce increases. The introduction of Ce increases the disorder in the two-phase composition, leading to a higher mixing entropy. On one hand, high entropy causes significant lattice distortion, hindering dislocation slip and crack propagation. On the other hand, the slow diffusion effect caused by high entropy reduces grain size and growth rate. Finer grains increase grain boundaries, hindering dislocation movement, thereby improving the fracture toughness of the material.

Figure 9 As shown, the introduction of Ce element increases the mixing entropy of the components. The slow diffusion effect brought about by high entropy reduces the grain size. Compared with Comparative Example 4, the grain growth rate between 1600 °C and 100 h of sintering is also significantly reduced, thereby improving the sintering resistance of the material and extending the service life of the material.
